Summer Is... by Austin

Summer is blue
It tastes like a wonderful pizza in the sun
It smells like delicious brownies for dessert
Summer reminds me of the sandy beach when I'm building a sand castle
And sounds like my insane music on my lava lamp
Summer feels cool

Summer Is... by Hunter

Summer is green
It tastes like warm brown s'mores
It smells like bright flowers
Summer reminds me of annoying bugs
And sounds like a fly's wings
Summer feels hot
Summer Is... by Claudia

Summer is purple
It tastes like delicious chicken Quesada homemade
It smells like beautiful rainbows made by rain
Summer reminds me of the wonderful beach where fish live peacefully
And sounds like the gentle ocean; dolphins ride the waves there
Summer feels very hot


Summer Is... by Alyssa

Summer is orange
It tastes like fresh fruit growing unconfined
It smells like delicate flowers ready to be picked
Summer reminds me of soaring seagulls above the ocean
And sounds like rushing water flowing all around
Summer feels warm and secure



Summer Is... by Jake

Summer is green
It tastes like lemondade that is freshly squeezed
It smells like newly cut grass in the air
Summer reminds me of chirping birds playing a catchy rhythm
And sounds like amazing songs in a theater
Summer feels like a one hundred-four day vacation
